HEARS Client Hearing Handicap

Note:

TOP: Baseline self-reported hearing handicap scores (Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly, Screening Version; HHIE-S) versus 3-months post-intervention scores. A score of ≥10 represents where follow-up hearing care is recommended.18 BOTTOM: Higher baseline HHIE-S scores generally yielded greater reductions (improvements) in self-reported hearing handicap following the HEARS intervention. Group median change in HHIE-S is −8 (IQR: 21) and −10 (IQR: 18) as delivered by CHW interventionist and the HEARS pilot’s professional interventionist,6 respectively.
